Reading is all too often mere eye exercise. We pass our eyes over the text, but rarely do we fully understand, remember, or are changed by what we read. It is a skill over and above basic literacy, and skills require deliberate practice, so how should we master this? How do we become better readers?

In this volume, the opinions of over 60 diverse authors, philosophers, and theorists are provided to answer questions such as:

* What should I read? * When should I not read? * Why should I read? * How do I remember what I read? * How does reading one book influence future readings? * How do I know I understood a book? * How do we interpret what we read? * How do I balance enchanted and critical reading?

There is no right answer to any of these questions, which is why a range of perspectives have been presented. A critical introductory essay maps the terrain covered.
